It's really helpful. Excellent video.
Believe it or not, I used white vinegar and got the white substance off. I mixed equal part vinegar with water. Spray the solution on the bricks. Let it sit for a couple minutes brush it a little and rinse it off. That's it.
That makes sense. As far as I understand it's the acidic bit that does the work as mortar is alkali, so vinegar could be a nice cheap-possibly safer for people and animals-method.
Nice video!
Exactly what I need to do .. I wasn’t even searching for this 😅
CZcams's algorithm recommended this video to me too
Many would recommend wetting bricks FIRST before the acid.... especially if the bricks are very porous. Probably not needed for a brick that does not absorb water, and has a "shiny" / smooth surface.
will it work for the scaled boiler discharge water stain ? TIA
Super video
Whats the mixture on acid and water
I don't know where you get your acid... We are using the same, hydrochloric acid, I don't know why, it doesn't seem to do anything.
There seams to be a centre long scuff or stain on every brick above the damp course. Is this a result of cleaing or design ?
this will be the style of the brick, seen it many times before
It says not for indoor use! Wish me luck I need to clean my red brick kitchen floor ! 😂
Is this stuff good for removing salt effloresence too
Yes it is ive tried it and it works
Where did you buy this cleaner from?
Toolstation or screwfix
I notice your bricks are quite sandy, isn't this why the big chunks are coming off easy?
What chamical is this
Why doesn’t it damage the mortar between the bricks?
The mortar in between the bricks is a very thick compressed layer. The mortar on the brick is thin
Can you use this on Indian stone
Yes i would believe so
No, you can't use Acid products on Indian Sandstone unless you are happy to see lots of iron oxidation.
Your slabs can changed colour due to minerals (specially iron) and become orange/rusty coloured.
Non acid product only.
Is this affect the brick ?i mean the hydrochloric acid?
It can destroy some soft handmade bricks and isn really too.dangerous for DIY job. CZcams is full of amateurs teaching other amateurs how to use it
when you pour to bucket always pour water then chemical lol
Your right my friend, water first checmical after
Or just use lemon juice...... it works
You should always add acid to water - never water to acid.
Why? Thanks
@@AndrewHubbardBadger If you add water to acid the water will explode and splatter. Always add acid to water.
Best way to remember is to think in alphabetical order.
A into W
Not W into A
The hell is two four parts

That’s some sloppy masonry work
You're meant to wet the brick first...
Yep. You’re supposed to give them a quick wash and scrape off any mortar lumps. You want the acid cleaner working on stubborn shit, not loose stuff.
Makes absolutely no sense to wet the bricks first. All you're doing is diluting the acid when it goes on.
@@AJ-ds5gf no, you're stopping the capillary action of the brick pulling the acid into the pores...
@@illmitchjax LOL no. Adding water just dilutes the acid.
@@AJ-ds5gffor starters, you don't put brick acid on 'neat' anyway, it's meant to be diluted down to the amount specified on the bottle depending on usage and conditions.
Secondly, a thin film of water on the substrate isn't going to notably dilute the acid...
What it will do is prevent the acid being pulled into the brick by capillary action and potentially weakening the brick.
You're only trying to remove mortar from the SURFACE of the brick...
